Stop Hating Anime

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

Best anime is Boku no Pico.

 

[Abradolfus_Linclerson]

At least anime is better than most SJW produced Western animation.

While this is indeed a true statement...it's also a perfect example of "damning with faint praise." It's not like outdoing CalArts and Tumblr writing is a very significant hurdle to clear.

That said, I'm apparently horribly racist against Japanese (the language) because I cannot fucking stand listening to that gibberish. I don't watch much anime, but when I do, it will always be dubbed and I don't care what weeaboo purists have to say about that.

 

[Biggusstickus]

Think of all the pillow-waifus the weebs would lose.

 

[Blobby's Murder Knife]

I don't hate it, just most of it is boring.

Once a person liking anime stops being an almost 100% predictor of them being a fucking weirdo who's always either sexually compromised or incessantly on the brink of a mental breakdown then sure.

Plenty of people who watch anime aren't necessarily terrible, they mean well and I understand their..."condition", but I'd like to see a study of how strong a predictor anime consumption is of OCD-like symptomology (including autism spectrum disorders).

The only good anime are just Sword Art Online, Pop Team Epic, Darling in the Franxx, Boruto, School Days and Rent-A-Girlfriend and anyone who argues otherwise has shit taste.

Well sorry about the fact you're so stupid and wrong, janny guy.

The best indicator of quality in an anime is whether the women have noses. So for example cowboy bebop = good anime. All the women have noses. I saw a bit of One Punch Man, that gets a pass on the women not having noses because there's, like, one waifu in the whole show I'm pretty sure (the psychokinetic green haired one). I thought Fullmetal Alchemist seemed ok, there was a small amount of waifuism in there but that gets a pass on a technicality because there was that one...dog girl episode, and that's like a girl with a much larger than normal nose.

Darling in the Franxx sucks because there's that one user on here named @ImagineTheSmell who has the pink haired bitch who I think is from that show and her foot as their pfp, which grosses me out, so that's off the table.

I think school days is the one where the girls murder each other over a guy or something? I think they had a game too. Either way, that one is extra stupid because additional modifier to my original criteria, if the main characters are still in motherfucking high school the show automatically 100% without debate is garbage and is probably watched by child molesters.


Unless you're being sarcastic. In that case that's a dumb thing to do, because regular people won't know what you're talking about and anime viewers are too wracked by autism and social isolation to recognize irony.

nose doesn't belong in anime so nope

You missed Chargeman Ken.

Like most things it was better before Obama but Panty & Stocking was 2010 (but in the planning stages since at least pre-Obama 2008 )

P&S is pretty much the last one I've seen that I would consider an all time favorite, what I've watched in the years since I've liked but are not ones I would consider to be all time greats and I've not watched anything more recent than 2016.

Meh, I feel like anime peaked during 2006 - 2014 give or take. There have been good shows since of course but it just doesn't capture the same magic.

I'm not a Japanese-only purist, but a lot of English dubs have atrocious voice acting.

Yeah, the "SUGOIII KAWAII DESU!" baby-talk can get annoying, but bad English dubs are like an auditory uncanny valley to me.

 

[Sanshain]

just watch ginguiser you fucking plebs

 

[Certified_Autist]

I like anime, and I think in many cases anime is better than the media being currently produced in the west.

That being said, the anime "fandom" is extremely cringe and is the reason why I don't tell people I watch anime

The more I like anime, the more I think weebs should be buried alive in wet concrete.

Only good anime is Girls und Panzers and that's only because I'm a tank nerd. #bobsemplegang

Possibly unpopular but I found the story of Girls und Panzer to be boring. The tank battles were awesome and 100% worth watching, but the actual plot/character interactions in between the battles were uninteresting.

Personally I would say the golden age was 1998-99 to about 2008, but 06-14 is also reasonable. Different "feel" that we each prefer, I suppose

 

[The Cunting Death]

I don't
I like some and I hate some

I hate everybody who enjoys things

The plot isn't the selling point, it's cute girls and tanks. That's what distinguishes it from just another slice-of-life.

It's my favorite anime, and I will be the first to admit that the premise is fucking stupid. Anyone who enjoys it, including myself, deserves to be beaten with rubber hoses.

And Yukari is the avatar of every fan's autism.

Anime is definitely something that the more you like it the more you hate other people for liking it as well.

I'm with you there. When it's genuine "conversational" Japanese*, it sounds fine to me. But when they put on the extra squeaky "UWU SUGOIII KAWAII DESU!!!" shit, you know they are pandering to weeaboos in the West, not regular anime fans.

Only reason I don't watch dubs as a rule is because most English dubs are just so bad they make the show unwatchable.

*I'm aware that it's not literally regular Japanese, just like dialogue in [good] Hollywood movies isn't literally regular English, but there's a difference between "dialogue stylized for a movie/TV show script" and "SUGOIII KAWAII DESU!!!" shit.

You missed the most important part.
